MAKES RECORD FOR DRILLING Hunt, of Eastern Oregon Oil Com pany, Bored Further in One Day Than Any Other. GOOD PRICES AT CALDWELL At the state sale of land held at Caldwell last Saturday tha average price was $40.00 per acre, for ground not under water. The highest price was $106.00. The sale was attended by some Vale people amongst whom were Postmastor Boswell arid C. 0. Thomas. SPIER RESIDENCE SOLD The Spier residence in the soutnwest part on town has been sold through the Vale Reality and Investment Com pany to W. Routson. The drill record for the Vale Oil fields was made last week by D. M. Hunt, superintendent and driller for the East ern Oregon Oil and Gas Company. This record is 58 feet for 10 hours work, but great as the feat was Mr. Hunt believes he can make the record look small before he is through. Taking into account only the ' time operations have been actually carried on the average depth bored by Mr. Hunt amounts to exactly 32 feet 6 inches per day of ten hours. He has not however encountered the volcanic rock which delayed the work of the other operators with2the excep tion of the Mammoth people who were also fortunate in escaping the harder substance. Mr. Hunt, it was, who found the hot water between two cold bodies of water and who found ten feet of shell rock at a very considerable depth. All the indications in his opin ion point to the probability of bringing In a well in much quicker time than people seem generally to expect, and that his opinion is worthy of exceptanco is evident from the fact Unit he has operated in virtually all the great oil fields of the country and consequently knowns an oil field whon he sees one. MEMBERS UTOPIAN RANGE INCREASING The last reports from the officials of the Utopian grange are to the effect that the membership is increasing. After the last meeting the impression prevailed that the local farmers and fruit growers will combine to a great er extent than ever before for their mutual benefit. The last meeting was held about two weeks ago and several matters were discussed. Members of the organization believe that the influx of jthe new men will result in a much stronger union as the growing needs of the industries will demand it. Some of the officers of the organiza tion are; John E. Johnson, Muster; J. Edwin Johnson, Lecturer; Tom Boston, Chaplain; all of whom will be willing to supply all the information! required by intending members. WILL BUILD HIGH LINE DITCH SOON t now seems a certainty that the High line ditch will be under construc tion within a very short time as Mr. Spier has promised to put the men to work immediately after the signing of all the contracts by the landholders. The greater number by far of the con tracts have now been signed and the remainder will come in at once. At one point the ditch will be only two miles from Vale.

They are now on exhibition at the Drexel Drug Company's store and Vale people will have a chance for the first ttme to make gifts to relatives, sweet hearts and friends worthy of them and the o;cason. In addition to this Mr. Frick has imported the loveliest stock of Xmas goods ever seen in Vale, and the most fastidious tastes can be sat isfied by him. Both sexes have been remembered and the beautifnl gifts range from ladies' toilet traveling cases to fine smoking pipes. There is also a stock of the newest and best works of litterture and art all beautifully bound and prepared for the festive season. Such books were never for sale before here. Christmas cars of all kinds, the most beautiful line of stationary, the very newest de signs In Oregon Myrtle wood and a de lightful array of countless other articles specially chosen for the occasion form a most pleasant exhibit, a sight of which at least should not be missed by those who wish to conform to the usages and live up to the spirit of Yule tide. Ladies and gentlemen are ex tended a hearty invitation by Mr. Frick to view the art works and enjoy their holiday suggestion. According to the statements of rt- tfemen generally, the cattle of this re gion will enter the winter in a belt'.T condition then they have enjoyed for buite a considerable time. Harry Anderson, of the firm of An derson Bros, and Monte Gwinn, who are known as the Malheur Livestock and Land Company, stated when in Vale In the beginning of the week that the cattle of his company, of course, shares In the good luck of tho calilo all over this portion of the country. The green grass is more plon' iful thnn ever and large quantities of food aro apparent on every hand. This condi tion is duo to tho lurgo rainfall and other favorable circumstances and a most prosperous year is ahead.

J. Robin son editor and proprietor of the I(tna coning Star, who arrived in Vale early last week. Mr. Robinson knows several people in his home town who contemplate set tling in these parts and who are now reading with avidity every bit of news from this country.
